ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |
- 1Identify carbohydrate sources: grains, fruits, dairy, starchy vegetables, sugars
- 2Estimate portion size using exchanges or grams
- 3Use insulin-to-carb ratio to calculate insulin dose
ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ
ଇନପୁଟ୍
1 slice bread (15g), 1 apple (15g), 1 cup milk (12g) = 42g total carbs
ଫଳ
If ratio 1:10, give 4.2 units rapid insulin
Plus correction for BG
ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ
- ✕Forgetting high-fat foods delay carb absorption
- ✕Confusing net carbs with total carbs

Why count carbs but not other macros?
Carbs most directly raise blood sugar; proteins and fats have smaller, delayed effects.
How accurate must carb counting be?
Generally ±10-15% acceptable; close enough for insulin dosing without perfection.
